Interesting essay about Murray Darling water from author Kate Jennings

I recently came across this essay written by Kate Jennings who grew up in the area and has gone on to be an award winning international novelist, essayist and poet.  We were very fortunate to have her as a guest author in our library last year where she spoke to a "packed house". Kate has penned her thoughts on the Murray Darling water debate in an article titled "Water under the bridge".  It's one of the best articles I've read about the issues and makes so much sense.  I really recommend everyone read it. Allow yourself a little time though, as it's not a five minute read (for me anyway)....
